Kid Konnection
Did you know that the largest Easter egg in the world lives in Vegreville, Canada? Did you know that the most popular Easter candy in the world are Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs? There’s a ton of fun trivia around the theme of Easter but the best questions to ask kids are about Jesus. Did you know we can love Jesus more than anything? Did you know Jesus is king over everything? Did you know Jesus is alive? Did you know we can trust Jesus? Whatever their answer, invite kids to go beyond the facts and win the grand prize of knowing Jesus for themselves!
We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. We will take our winter break on February 12.

Kid Konnection returns on January 8, 2025!
Page-turners are exciting books, the kind you don’t want to put down, the kind you would stay up extra late to read. Books are exciting when we can find ourselves in the stories and imagine being a part of the adventure. This winter we are going to look at some of the page-turning stories of the Bible. Each of these stories has something valuable to teach us about our patient and powerful God who prepares us to fight temptation and celebrates us, the heroes in our own real-life adventures!
Join us on January 8 from 6:30 - 7:30 pm.

Griefshare: Surviving the Holidays
Grieving is always difficult, but grieving can be even harder around the holidays. Facing this season while grieving can sometimes feel like taking one step forward and two steps back.
In order to help with this upcoming holiday season, we will be hosting a one-time, 2-hour Griefshare event: Surviving the Holidays, on Tuesday, December 10 at 6:00 pm. Like a trusted guide, this event will prepare you to navigate the season’s changes. It will include a 35-minute video, small group discussions, and a survival guide full of tips on how to navigate the season.
We hope you will join us. Please register here to let us know you are coming: https://www.griefshare.org/events/252956.

5th & 6th Grade Fall Blast
Our 5th & 6th graders return to Miracle Camp & Retreat Center for their annual Fall Blast. This weekend is full of fun activities and thoughtful messages from God’s Word. Contact the church office for more information.
Join our Fall Life Groups on Sunday morning at 9:45 am
When you think of Sunday morning Life Groups we want you to think of two things: relationships and the Word of God. We believe that these two go hand in hand. The church is a community of people in relationship with God and with one another. The Bible informs how we are to live in these relationships. Therefore, both are extremely important if we want to grow as Christians and as a community.
There are currently 4 Life-Groups every Sunday morning, and you are invited to attend any group of your choice.
New Sermon Series on the Gospel of Matthew
Who is Jesus? What does it mean to follow Jesus? What is the Kingdom of God? Where is the Kingdom of God? Who is a part of the Kingdom of God?
These are important questions, and the Gospel of Matthew has the answers. From September 8, 2024 through May 18, 2025, we will preach through this wonderful Gospel.
We invite you to join us in reading the Gospel of Matthew as we preach through it. Passages to read will be provided each week in the bulletin.
